Losing for the first time has brought about a new challenge for Southern Miss.
A week after coming up short against Troy at M.M. Roberts Stadium, the Golden Eagles (2-1) take to the road to face Texas-El Paso in the Conference USA opener for both teams. Kickoff is 7 p.m., and the game will be streamed live on CampusInsiders.com.
How the team responds to its first loss of the season “defines who you are,” according to first-year Golden Eagle coach Jay Hopson.
Senior defensive lineman Dylan Bradley said it’s critical to ramp up the level of concentration and focus.
